"It's FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Oh, is that so?
$10 = 1,000 ROBUX
A dominus hat costs 26,000 ROBUX
Simple mathematics show that 10*26=260
Who would pay $260 for a virtual hat???!!!
ROBLOX, lower your prices or your company won't last more than one or two more years...
If you think 'Well, to use the game it's free.' You made the perfectly fine game more like a roleplay version of Minecraft, and as you can't do much more than build a block with very limited resources that cannot be collected or wire a bomb, your game is now boring! So, what's the solution? Pay money so people can get something. I am what is called a "Paycheck-to-Paycheck" family right now. I know that Roblox isn't something that I really care about financially but as someone who knows about having good companies, you are currently horrible at marketing.
Now let's start stating the obvious:
This is what a President should know, and as company workers you should know this too.
A country: -Lower taxes means higher growth -Normal taxes means balanced income and growth -Higher taxes means more money, but little to no long-term-growth
A company: -Lower prices mean higher growth and more sales -Normal prices are balanced for a normal, working company -Higher prices means more money temporarily, but little-to-no growth that will last very long, as it limits your customers which limits your incomes. People get to chose if they purchase it and many people will easily get fed up with these prices, therefore you won't have too much customers for long.
Another way is that you turn a holiday into something not-so-happy for people's wallets and bank accounts. You call them "Gifts." Yeah, pay $10 for one virtual item, or just buy a premium account for an income each day... a tiny one. You put "Most Popular" on the Yearly OBC, but if you do basic math with the ability to add, subtract, multiply, and divide, than anyone who is beyond a grade as low as the 4th can see that it is actually "Most Cash for Us" but what do you do with the cash? Definatley not make the website easier to navigate, or more efficient to use, or more enjoyable to use.
In fact, in a ROBLOXian group that only the Administrators have joined, and an administrator put in a shoutout something showing that you all KNOW that you're trying to take cash out of our pockets and that being all you care about. One of the admins, and I QUOTE, posted the following:
"IT'S STILL FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEish"
If someone gets banned for saying something as silly as a meme, or uploading an image of a meme, or saying a harmless emoticon like ":3" or calling themself a "troll," which I might add Sorcus constantly calls himself one, THEY GET NO REFUND.
Please notice I am NOT, I repeat, NOT trying to say all of this to insult you, but to show that you will NEED a change or your company will NOT survive much longer. |

| ROBLOX is free to play. Optional upgrades cost money. If you have a problem with that, don't buy upgrades. |

@Previous posters, exactly. It's overpriced. And the likelyhood that someone would pay $260 on ROBLOX is just insane. And the fact that the Dominus hat is EXTREMELY LIMITED, people would try to buy the ROBUX as soon as possible so they can buy it!
@The person who said they likely won't read this, I am sending my post to info@roblox. |

| @Stormchaser, if you read all of my post I pointed that they'd say it's free to play and upgrades are optional, but how their techniques are just trying to rip off our pockets to take our wallets. |

| @Cricketear, if you even read ANY of my post you'd know that they would have more growth if the prices were smaller. |

@DrRobloxia, you saying that proves to me you didn't read any of my elaborations before thinking "OMG EVERYTHING FREE MEANS NO MONEY SO NO WEBSITE"
Did I ever say that they should get absolutely no money at all?
Did I ever say that the price change should be a large one if any?
Did I ever say a single idea that would mean they wouldn't have a company still running? If you read anything but the first sentence or paragraph you would know that the point of this thread is to improve the website... |

lowering prices will cause the site to close down the economy is horrible, so ROBLOX is trying to get more money to keep going |

*facepalm* Are you idiot? ROBLOX meant they said, "Games are FREEEEEE". In whole of trailer of ROBLOX, they reviewing the gameplay and end of trailer it said, "ITS FREEEEEE" which is mean "GAMES ARE FREEEEE", not stuffs.
They complaining about "ITS FREEEE" in 2011. So get over with. |

The point of my thread was NOT to say that the only way they get money is by membership.
Clearly NOBODY reads what I have said before saying whether or not I made research...
The Dominus Price is proof enough that even OBC's aren't likely to afford a Dominus without waiting for years... |

The reason why the Dominus Crown is 26,000, is that it was givin to a varity of people for FREE! ROBLOX put it on sale for 26,000 , so rich people can buy it.
NO DERP. |

Dominuses are limited Which means people can lower the price of the dominuses if they wanted to Don't blame ROBLOX for that...
Also, If you dont want to pay over 100 bucks on a hat, Just don't get that hat.Get a different one that costs less. |
